An ultrasonic system that easily controls the oscillation of megahertz ultrasound—applying technology to evaluate the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic probes.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control the nonlinear phenomena of surface elastic waves (ultrasonic vibrations) that propagate through the target object, using an original ultrasonic system (sound pressure measurement analysis, oscillation control). **Technology for Controlling Nonlinear Ultrasonic Vibration Phenomena** 1) Control setting technology that adjusts the oscillation output, waveform, and variations of the oscillation control using a function generator, tailored to the acoustic characteristics of the target object. 2) Manufacturing technology for an ultrasonic oscillation control probe that enables control of changes in ultrasonic oscillation voltage, including adjustments to the oscillation surface. 3) Manufacturing technology for an ultrasonic measurement probe that allows for the measurement of changes in ultrasonic vibrations at 100 megahertz, including adjustments to the oscillation surface. 4) Optimization technology for sweep oscillation conditions. Using the above technologies, we control (optimize) the propagation state of ultrasonic waves according to specific objectives. Note: The dynamic control of ultrasonic waves is performed based on the analysis and evaluation of sound pressure data related to nonlinear phenomena, considering the interaction between the acoustic characteristics of the target object and ultrasonic oscillation control.

Improvement process for ultrasonic propagation efficiency due to harmonics above 200 MHz.

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has made it possible to control the nonlinear propagation state of ultrasound by measuring, analyzing, and controlling the propagation state of ultrasound and applying it as the acoustic characteristics of the target object. As a result, we have developed a technology that efficiently alleviates the residual stress on the surface of components and homogenizes the entire surface. With this technology to alleviate surface residual stress, we have improved fatigue strength against metal fatigue and achieved uniformity in various surface treatments. In particular, by considering the guided waves (surface elastic waves) of the target object in the setting and control of the ultrasonic propagation state, we have developed control methods, tools, and systems that realize effective dynamic changes in the target object as a certain range of stimuli that include nonlinear phenomena. We have confirmed a wide range of effects on various surfaces of metal parts, plastic parts, and powder materials. This technology is offered as a consulting service.

Surface inspection using ultrasonic oscillation from ultrasonic probes (oscillating type, measuring type, resonant type, nonlinear type).

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a new component inspection technology using megahertz ultrasonic oscillation, based on its track record of analyzing ultrasonic data propagating on the surface of target objects. This method applies the measurement and analysis technology of "sound pressure and vibration" through the control of original ultrasonic probe oscillation. We provide consulting and explanations of ultrasonic evaluation technology by developing ultrasonic probes tailored to the purpose (vibration modes propagating on the surface of target objects). This is an application of new ultrasonic oscillation control technology. By utilizing nonlinear phenomena related to megahertz ultrasonic propagation states that match the acoustic characteristics of the target object, it is possible to detect new features regarding the surface condition of the target object. In particular, this fundamental technology serves as a new evaluation parameter for ultrasonic vibration, utilized in surface inspection of substrate components and preliminary evaluation of precision cleaning parts, based on the response characteristics derived from combinations of oscillation and reception. By measuring, analyzing, and evaluating the dynamic characteristics of ultrasonic waves related to surface elastic wave propagation phenomena, we have enabled effective utilization tailored to the purpose (evaluation) by constructing and modifying logical models.

Ultrasonic oscillation (sweep oscillation) system for controlling nonlinear phenomena

The Ultrasonic System Research Institute has developed a technology to control the nonlinear vibration phenomena of surface elastic waves based on the acoustic characteristics of original ultrasonic probes. The key point is the setting of sweep oscillation conditions using two ultrasonic probes (essentially, it cannot be controlled with just one probe for ultrasonic oscillation control. By combining the oscillation settings of the two probes, the occurrence of resonance phenomena and nonlinear phenomena can be controlled). Resonance phenomena and nonlinear phenomena can be controlled within a frequency range tailored to the intended use. In particular, when strong stimulation is required, this is achieved by utilizing low-frequency resonance phenomena (e.g., breaking glass). When high-frequency stimulation is needed, this is achieved by utilizing high-frequency nonlinear phenomena (e.g., 700 MHz stimulation).

Regarding vibrations and noise from buildings and roads, equipment, devices, walls, piping, desks, handrails... as well as the vibrations at the moment of metal melting during welding and instantaneous vibrations during machining, we have made it possible to respond with vibration control and management based on the measurement and analysis of new vibration phenomena.
